what if top of the food chain Agent Hank Schrader, even so much as looks at a picture of Tuco's M16 and says huh... is that blood in the water and starts crawlin'?

what if Mexico is way further than a thousand miles?

what if Marie has all day to go shopping every day?

what if she is lying about having a job?

what if Hank knows they can't afford a sweet home hospital set-up on what they make?

what if she steals peoples dreams away from them?

what if Marie is responsible for Walt not getting in on the patent that would have made him succesful? Maybe because she stole his notes and passed them to that Bentley driving what's her name way back in the day. Before Hank even maybe. And so Walt lost out bigtime and none of this would have happened? Would Walt be able to forgive the world that chewed him up then? because everything would have been soooo different. Because then he would be, or at least been a king.

what if Tucos' grill makes it to a flea market in Marie's flightpath? It is shiny.

what if Marie is the center of the Maelstrom, so to speak? the gravity of her corruption would seem to draw these cursed objects.

what if she stole the spoon just to get caught? to give her deeper issues the appearance of a quirky hang up or get Hanks attention? or get his attention away from something else?

Maybe Marie could have been helped or saved by something back then, but somehow her greed could seem strident and pure, palatable at the time. Maybe because rich people are easily contemptible? So she stole... stole to save mankind, or for justice yeah, or at least some justice, well justice for some with potential injustice for others, faceless others, yes.

El hefe

what if making a mistake once and paying for it makes you a whole lot smarter, fast?

what if Gus knows that Ricin smells like toe cheese and sniffed everything before he and Jesse ate? It always amazes him how the senses work in connection to memory.

what if Gus has a camera behind the trucks at the laundry, what if it's also wired for sound?
